Pre-AP Curriculum for Sixth Grade Mathematics J. Robinson robinsonmath6.wikispaces.com jrobinson@gcs.k12.al.us
Gadsden City Middle Schools are dedicated to provide the students with the best educational opportunities. We feel that it is important to ensure that the students are ready for the rigors of high school. Therefore, Gadsden City Middle Schools offer a Pre-AP curriculum for Advanced Students. The Pre-AP curriculum will be designed after the AP curriculum at Gadsden City High School. The middle school teachers will work with the high school teachers in developing a challenging curriculum which will prepare the students who will be taking AP classes. The administrations will look at student’s grades, test scores, and teacher recommendations to determine who needs to be in the Pre-AP curriculum.
What is Pre-AP Mathematics? This course will consist of the State of Alabama Sixth Grade Mathematics Course of Study. The format in which it will be studied is through higher level thinking skills, advanced placement vocabulary, advanced placement question formatting and phrasing.
Pre-AP Grading –
Not all assignments are graded. However, success in the class depends on the completion of all assignments.
Assignments are due on assigned date.
Students are NOT allowed to retake graded assignment
Grade will consist of class participation, class assignments, homework, vocabulary test, standard test, nine week test, and projects.
Pre-AP students will receive 5 points added to their end of the year average.
Nine Week Test
At the end of each nine weeks an assessment of all material will be given. This score will be averaged in as part of their nine weeks report card grade. These scores are also reported to the central office.
Please check the class’ wikispace at robinsonmath6.wikispaces.com for class activities and projects.
